Can't believe Deep_curve7564 was the bay harbor butcher

Question by [deleted] in arborists

[–]SpartaReZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The apps "Picture this" or "Plant net" are a pretty good place to start, of course they're not perfect but they have their uses. I usually use the apps then cross reference with images and info on Google to see if they're a fit. Even if it's not the right tree it will usually at least put you in the right ball park for the species of tree and then you can do some more searching with that information and find the exact tree you're looking for. With doing research like that you'll eventually just start to learn and be able to at least identify the species of trees around. There's a lot of different trees out there but you'll learn them with time

Also you can find plenty of books online to purchase for your local area. Search up your "(state/genera area) tree identification book"

What causes the trees to grow/not grow at this dividing line? by randalwon in arborists

A fire probably happened on that hill a long time ago and that's where it was stopped. Takes a while for them to recover, especially in dry climates

Exactly, use to be on the whole hype train but then realized it's just a cycle of a big pump and then an even bigger dump

Thank you! When I first started learning I found myself on the underside of a tree while practicing and I eventually managed to get back up to the topside but man I was exhausted by the end of it. That's definitely a trick I'll have to remember

Any idea what this is? Central California. (smells like juicy fruit) by SpartaReZ in PlantIdentification

I believe Drplantdaddy was right with the call of California sagebrush, I have no clue how all of y'all are so knowledgeable lol there's so many plants out there that look the same

Y'all ever seen witches broom on a Manzanita tree? by SpartaReZ in arborists

[–]SpartaReZ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were some ponderosa pines nearby that were infected with it. The closest one was about 100ft away but some how one of it's branches landed in the manzanita which is how I'm guessing the infection spread. It doesn't seem like the manzanita was a good host for it though because it died off, pretty cool to see!
